The Wolfpack did beat Notre Dame last season, 10-3 at Carter-Finley Stadium during Hurricane Matthew. South Florida on November 24, there are 15 other undefeated or one-loss teams in the Power Five (that total includes technically independent Notre Dame).

Notre Dame has an average margin of victory of 28.4 points during its five-game winning streak and has rushed for at least 333 yards in four of those games, including 515 against Boston College during a 49-20 road win September 16. So far, Notre Dame's only loss was by one point to SEC East favorite Georgia. Twoteams (Penn State, Notre Dame) move up after blowout victories. Victories the rest of the way would assure a final four spot for Notre Dame. It's called karma, Michigan.

Penn State passes first big test. Wisconsin 6. Ohio State 7. Penn State winning out and a lopsided Alabama win could ensure that would not happen.

The Irish were 10th to start 2016, but they finished 4-8 past year.

As usual, the number in parentheses indicates last week's ranking, if it's different than this week's. USC is still in first place in the Pac-12 South, with control of its path to the conference title game, but their playoff hopes are pretty much shot. Major playoff implications for twoteams that started the season unranked. Ohio State has the record with 105 times at No. 1, followed by Oklahoma with 101. Washington is projected to have the 63rd overall strength of schedule in the FBS, while Washington State is at No. 74. Georgia 4. TCU 5. All four of OU's conference games have been decided by one score. According to the FPI, Oklahoma has just a 16 percent chance to finish with one loss, and Oklahoma State has an 11 percent chance to do the same. So will TCU, the only Big 12team that seems to avoid hiccups in its play. Georgia Tech has lost two games it arguably should have won and one of their two losses is to a top-10 Miami team. The Wolverines were replaced by No. 25 Iowa State, ranked for the first time since 2005.

USC needs to bounce back this week as they take on a red-hot Arizona State team on the road.

Throughout the season, the Alabama Crimson Tide have continued to look like a college football powerhouse that can not be stopped, so it's no surprise they once again rank atop Herstreit's list.

N.C. State didn't play this week but moved up two spots to No. 14 in the AP poll and one spot to No. 15 in the USA Today poll.
